The Raven

I put a picture of a raven, because in Poe's story a man heard a raven talking to him.

Masque of Red Death

This picture resembles the time we have in our life, and also the red dressed man at the party

The Devil & Tom Walker

I showed a picture of a man signing a contract with the devil, because that is what happens in the story.

The Fall of the House of Usher

Nevertheless, in this mansion of gloom I now proposed to myself a sojourn of some weeks. Its proprietor, Roderick Usher, had been one of my boon companions in boyhood; but many years had elapsed since our last meeting. A letter, however, had lately reached me in a distant part of the country -- a letter from him -- which, in its wildly importunate nature, had admitted of no other than a personal reply. The MS. gave evidence of nervous agitation. The writer spoke of acute bodily illness -- of a mental disorder which oppressed him -- and of an earnest desire to see me, as his best, and indeed his only personal friend, with a view of attempting, by the cheerfulness of my society, some alleviation of his malady. It was the manner in which all this, and much more, was said -- it the apparent heart that went with his request --which allowed me no room for hesitation; and I accordingly obeyed forthwith what I still considered a very singular summons.

The Devil & Tom Jordan

"He proposed, therefore, that Tom should employ it in the black traffic; that is to say, that he should fit out a slave-ship. This, however, Tom resolutely refused; he was bad enough in all conscience, but the devil himself could not tempt him to turn slave-trader."

Roderick Usher

Roderick Usher is a sickly man. His face is pale and ghostly, but his physique is tall. He lives with his sister and they are supposedly people who take part in incest. He calls on his old friend in his last days showing how desperate he was.
